Snowblind

This UK melodic hard rock quintet was formed in 1982 by guitarist Andy Simmons. With Tony Mason (vocals), Ross Bingham (electric guitar, keyboards), Geoff Gilesoie (bass) and Kevin Baker (drums) completing the line-up, these were mostly of the non-speed steel/thrash bands agreed upon to the Belgian Mausoleum label. Using Magnum, Hurry and Grand Prix as their musical blueprint, they debuted using a self-titled record in 1985. This comprised grandiose epics, punctuated by explosive electric guitar runs in areas. The only disadvantage was Mason’s vocals, which lacked the required ambiance and range to provide the songs genuine distinction. The record fared terribly and little continues to be heard from their website since. Never to end up being baffled with the Manchester, England-based duo agreed upon to Heavenly Information in the brand new millennium.
